It's your daily squad struggle session: Ilhan Omar condemns China for human rights abuses against Uyghurs.(hexbear.net)

What is the evidence for this? Even the BBC’s coverage of the vocational school highlighted the fact that attendants at the schools went home at night. Are you saying Uighurs can’t bring their children to class?

Many of those reeducation camps have dorms where inmates live. Meanwhile, their children are put in boarding schools. Uighurs who move abroad have their children placed in orphaniches.

If you’re not familiar with these practices, you clearly have not been paying attention. I’m not discussing this with you further. Educate yourself first.

Post a source that doesn’t trace back to Zenz.

I mean, Zenz being the author in and of itself doesn’t prove this isn’t happening to be fair.

The guardian article I found on the matter does indeed cite this Zenz article though lol: https://adrianzenz.medium.com/story-45d07b25bcad

Zenz cites spreadsheets from a “cache of over 25000 files from different government departments” which contain numbers on children in “difficult circumstances”.

Honestly I’m inclined to believe him in this case considering how relatively common boarding schools seem to be in China and CGTN even made a video about them. That being said, I was under the impression they could still keep in touch with each over remotely based on the CGTN video and also on some supposedly leaked documents I saw a while ago: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6558510-China-Cables-Telegram-English.html

Family education. Through letter writing, phone calls, video chats, visits, meetings, meals, etc., establish a mechanism for students and relatives to interact with each other, to ensure that the students will have a phone conversation with their relatives at least once a week, and meet via video at least once a month, to make their family feel at ease and the students feel safe.

That’s a really effective way to make propaganda.

Boarding schools become forced and as evil as residential schools. Programs to bring in temporary labourers for seasonal work become slaves picking cotton.

It’s not my job to dig through the internet for years old articles on your behalf.

As I said, if you haven’t at least seen these allegations before, you’re not paying attention and you’re not worth talking to.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
